The thoughts that are going through my head right now are NOT good. Suffice it to say that I hid all the knives.
J got out of prison yesterday and promptly calls H. He tells him that he got put in THIS TIME for drug offenses and parole violations. Gee...never would have expected that.
So, they talk for awhile and of course he says he needs money. I'm sitting across the room with dagger eyes. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY nor would I give any to him.
Then the ball drops. H suggests that he'll start the proceedings to have his parole changed to WI and he can come live with us. I swear to God, I thought I could have killed the man.
H hangs up and looks at me like...what? So, controlling the volcano that has erupted inside of me I said, "Ya know, H...this is how things are SUPPOSED to work. You are SUPPOSED to at least broach the topic with you WIFE first before you make such a huge decision like that." Then I went down the laundry list of why this just might not be the best choice.
Hmmm...let's see.
He has proven that for the last 16 years that he can't stay off drugs.
He has graduated to armed robbery.
We've been robbed multiple times by his drug 'associates' as he robbed them.
He can't hold a job and is 'above' getting a flipping burgers job. Yeah, that's going to make me REAL happy when I'm up now at 1am to go to a minimum wage job.
We don't physically have a room for him unless you want to give up your precious music studio that you rarely use or the insanely spoiling bird room that you fuss over all the time. (He actually had the nerve to suggest at this point that we put a bed in MY office.)
We don't have money to support another person! Shoot...I didn't even send my own son a birthday present this year.
NO, NO, NO!!! I said if this happens, find a new wife and this time I'm not leaving with just a suitcase. Oh, then you'll be in luck...my office will be bare and you can live in harmony with the kid that has made your life hades for two decades.
H's response? Well, they probably won't grant the state parole change anyways...then he just got up and went about his business.
I think I burned a deep hole in my sofa while sitting there. I think it's a good thing that I'm going to a counseling session this afternoon.
Ok...deep breaths...deep breaths
